    THIS IS NOT HOW I WANTED THE YEAR TO BEGIN

    You guys, my story has refused to stick to the script these beginning days of 2017. This is what the script looked like:

    -Teach my kids intensely

    -Publish three recipes(one a video recipe) in the first week

    -Host a new year giveaway

    -Prepare and enjoy all sorts of healthy meals

    -Start Bible-in-one-year plan

    But this is what has actually happened;

    -An unprecedented trip to the hospital in an ambulance due to chronic neck pain - muscle spasm

    -Being unable to do much apart from lying down, sitting, crying, wishing, praying, etc

    I have been given various powerful pain killers but they work for a while then the pain returns. I have prayed and I have been prayed for. The pain is still there.

    I have lightly massaged the area, applied heat and cold to it, applied peppermint oil, watched neck sprain videos on YouTube and practiced everything from acupuncture to neck exercises. What kind of pain is this?

    As much as this frustrates me, I'm hanging in here and trusting God that this too shall pass. Please pray for me. If you have any ideas on how I could alleviate this pain, please kindly share.

    I'll be back full swing when this thorn in my flesh is over.pre-signature-pro

      Oh Precious! I'm so sorry to hear this.

      I pray you'll be fine in Jesus name! Please return to the hospital if it persists and we'll keep praying. Look forward to having you back here soon. Happy New Year too. The Bible in one year plan is great. Started last year and then fell off. Hoping to do constant everyday devotionals this year!

      Oh dear! So sorry to hear this precious, I actually wondered why I didn't see your posts on the usual pages. Weh Mami ashia. May the Lord extend His healing hands on to that spot. I declare that by .His strips you are healed in Jesus' mighty name. No weapon fashioned against God's PLANS to prosper you this year shall prosper. I command that pain to loosen its grip on your neck for good in the mighty name of Jesus. Pain you have you place in Precious' body for her body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I praise you Lord for complete healing in your precious name Jesus I pray, Amen. Mami rest small and recover, and come back strong dear.

      hope you feel better, l came across your site via your recipes on YouTube. A lot of heating pads and a warm soak in the tub helps with the pain. I pray it all goes away. Remain blessed always.

      Happy new year Precious!!!
      Wow...really sorry to hear this. Don't worry you'll be fine. Just try not to apply so much press to the area and relax though I know you might find it hard to. Just relax and take lots of rest and try and be positive. I remember when I had an accident and I felt helpless for weeks, but soon it was over and it feels like a memory. I took the chance to read books and relax in the house. Praying for you. You'll be fine in Jesus name and return bouncing.
      Much love.xo!
